Overview

This crate provides easy to use request builders for all available endpoints in the unofficial SpaceX API. These request builders return a model after being sent, which in turn gives you type-safe, Rustacious access to all fields exposed by each of the endpoints.

Examples

Here's an example in which we make a request to the v2/rockets/{rocket_id} endpoint - we specify the rocket_id as a field in the request builder.

extern crate space_rx;

use space_rx::v2_api::requests::rocket::*;

fn main() {
    let req = RocketRequestBuilder::default().rocket_id("falcon9").build().unwrap();
    let rocket = space_rx::send(&req).unwrap();

    println!("The Falcon 9 weighs {:?}lbs.  Wow!", rocket.mass.lb);
    println!("The Falcon 9's landing legs are made out of {:?}.", rocket.landing_legs.material.unwrap());
    println!("The Falcon 9's {:?} engine(s) use {:?} and {:?} as propellant.", rocket.engines.number, rocket.engines.propellant_1, rocket.engines.propellant_2);
}

How's Starman doing? Let's find out!

extern crate space_rx;

use space_rx::v2_api::requests::info::*;

fn main() {
    let req = RoadsterInfoRequestBuilder::default().build().unwrap();
    let roadster_info = space_rx::send(&req).unwrap();

    println!("Here's how Starman is doing: {:?}", roadster_info);
}

The launch style endpoints have lots of potential parameters to filter requests. Let's try some of those.

extern crate space_rx;

use space_rx::SortDir;
use space_rx::v2_api::requests::launch::*;

fn main() {
    let req = AllLaunchesRequestBuilder::default().reused(true)
                                                  .start("2010-06-22")
                                                  .customer("Telkom")
                                                  .site_name("CCAFS SLC 40")
                                                  .order(SortDir::DESC)
                                                  .build()
                                                  .unwrap();
    
    let launches = space_rx::send(&req).unwrap();

    println!("{:?}", launches);
}

And here we get some information about the Dragon 1 capsule.

extern crate space_rx;

use space_rx::v2_api::requests::capsule::*;

fn main() {
    let req = CapsuleRequestBuilder::default().capsule_id("dragon1").build().unwrap();
    let capsule = space_rx::send(&req).unwrap();

    println!("The Dragon 1 capsule can hold {:?} people.", capsule.crew_capacity);
    println!("How much junk does the Dragon 1 capsule have in the trunk?  Well, this much: {:?}.", capsule.trunk);
}

Curious to know what launchpads SpaceX uses? Let's try that.

extern crate space_rx;

use space_rx::v2_api::requests::launchpad::*;

fn main() {
    let req = LaunchpadRequestBuilder::default().launchpad_id("ksc_lc_39a").build().unwrap();
    let kennedy_space_center_39a_launchpad = space_rx::send(&req).unwrap();

    println!("{:?} has launched these rockets: {:?}.", kennedy_space_center_39a_launchpad.full_name, kennedy_space_center_39a_launchpad.vehicles_launched);
    println!("{:?} is located at {:?}.", kennedy_space_center_39a_launchpad.full_name, kennedy_space_center_39a_launchpad.location);
}

How about the parts used in all capsules? We can find that, too.

extern crate space_rx;

use space_rx::v2_api::requests::part::*;

fn main() {
    let req = AllCapsulePartsRequestBuilder::default().build().unwrap();
    let capsule_parts = space_rx::send(&req).unwrap();

    println!("Here are the parts used in SpaceX capsules: {:?}", capsule_parts);
}
